In this course, you will learn to express yourself even better in Italian.
- You learn to tell more about yourself: what your background is, what you do in daily life and what your dreams and ambitions are.
- You will work with Italian texts. As the course progresses, you will be able to understand the main idea of most Italian texts and summarise them briefly.
- You will also continue to improve your writing and speaking skills. You can thus start a conversation with your fellow students or business contacts with more confidence. These skills will also come in handy when writing Italian letters and e-mails.
- Knowledge of Italian culture is essential: you will therefore learn all about Italian forms of address, expressions, etc.
